Hyphal knots? (for the trained eye please)

Working with a new strain (Costa Rican landslide) and everything about this grow has been different. Mycelium growth, colonization, etc. These cakes were birthed 3 days ago. Keeping rh at 90+ and temp between 75-80f. Do these look like early hyphal knots? There's such little info on the org about this strain. Hopefully I can post some nice fruits soon with a detailed grow log for those who have not tried this strain.
Thanks in advance.

Knots are difficult to see in photos of this quality. I might see a few. But, why the concern with knots? Those cakes look good and healthy. They should start pinning in the next several days - relax

Isn't that the same as the commercially available costa rican strains?
I can tell you all about it.
They are fast fruiters with a short time between flushes. They are generally known to be kinda pointy capped. They are a midsize cube. They like to grow down into the substrate. It's kinda annoying at times. Potency is cube normal. Normal cube growing parameters.
Here's some pins/knots: 
Some pointies: 


Here's the annoying taproot:
This big one is atypical. They get bigger on straw in general like most cubes:

Great info. Thanks! I've noticed that in several of my cakes the myc has jumped over the foil barrier and started to colonize bits of loose verm laying on the perlite. Is this is of any concern? Do you think this may inhibit fruiting?
BTW - I'm misting and fanning about 5 times a day. Any tips you have on getting these CR's to fruit is greatly appreciated.
Hypothetical question: if you had to guess would you describe this strain as more visual in nature or more body...

Most cubes have the same growth parameters. If you're following normal cake procedure you'll see pins any day now. Myc spreading around to nearby stuff is not an issue.
Regarding trip type, I think the only actives in cubes are psilocin and psilocybin. So it's doubtful that this strain is any different to your brain than most other cubes.
Altho by the power of suggestion here you go. When you ingest these costas, you will feel like you are in a hot-tub full of costa rican chicks in bikinis.

Costa Rican chica's in bikini's? Yeah, I think I'll be babying these cakes. Always wanted a trip that closely resembles an anything-goes costa rican vacation with chics in hot tubs. Closest I've gotten is hippies with no bikinis in hot springs. 
Thanks for the tips, man.

those are primordia, hyphae knots are rope like.

No, the smallest of those are hyphal knots. There is no such thing as hyphae knots. The ones that are elongating and beginning to differentiate a cap are primordia.
To the OP, I see no knots on your cakes, but I also see no holes in your terrarium. Are you aware that fresh air is the number 1 pinning trigger? RR

I feel honored to have been responded to by the great RR.
There are indeed holes in my FC. About 40 on the bottom (directly under the perlite) and about 15 on each side. The lid is made of glass and has no holes. I am misting and fanning religiously. Do you think my setup is allowing for enough FAE, fanning included? I'm maintaining about 92% rh.
